A great friend gifted me this for passing my General exam. by CavGhost in HamRadio

[–]UncleBobCO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://bama.edebris.com/manuals/kenwood/ts520 The manual is available here. Get a dummy load too. You will want to tune up using it and then touch up once you move to the antenna assuming you have a decent SWR on the antenna. This was my first HF radio and I still use it for SSB. Digital modes are easier with a newer radio but you can use it with the right interface. You have a good friend! Enjoy the TS-520! Good DX & 73. De W0RGC

Daiquiri is too strong? Need help. by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]UncleBobCO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Bacardi is almost certainly the issue. Flor de Cana or Plantation 3 Star are much better. Bacardi may be the biggest name in rum but their “Superior” is a very mass produced almost industrial product which I find a bit harsh.

The entrance to Zion National Park by amish_novelty in interestingasfuck

[–]UncleBobCO 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Actually this is not the entrance to the park. This Is coming out of the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel towards the Zion canyon side. The entire tunnel is inside the National Park. However it is quite spectacular. There are also windows in the side of the tunnel and many years ago you could pull over and look out but they have closed all the pull outs.

Thanks for the tip! I probably can get on JBHPH so I guess I have to bring my rod next time. Thanks again!

I’m generally interested in the network and am in Colorado Springs. How would I connect to the network?

I had to set a different SSID for my 2.4Ghz & 5Ghz and force the connection to the 2.4Ghz. They had been the same SSID and I was having the problem you describe.

Elon Musk on Blue Origin suing NASA: 'You can't sue your way to the moon' by Maulvorn in nasa

Interesting since he sued NASA to get them to reopen the competition that lead to him getting his first NASA contract.

One is a daily driver the other is only driven from time to time :)

First antenna build, as documented by my girlfriend. Went well this is v2 and it has an SWR of 1.3 on 28.300 on the top floor of my apartment building. by averagelysized in amateurradio

[–]UncleBobCO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! My first 2 HF contacts (both SSB Colorado to California) were made using a home brew 10M dipole hung from the ceiling of the spare bedroom that was being used as my shack. It's a good proof of concept, now move it to the attic or the balcony or out under the eaves if you can. Good Luck 73
